Tommy Lad
On answering the question
There might be too much golf content here? Sorry, it’s a love and obsession—and there’s a major happening, the US PGA, in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia.
Englishman Tommy Fleetwood had an average week and missed the cut—a surprise to most. Fleetwood has many admirers. For those who don’t know him, he’s a professional golfer, he’s very good, and equally decent away from the course.
And do you know what he does better than almost every other sports celebrity? I’ll tell you tomorrow. No, that’s what the others do.
First, when interviewed, he listens to the question. You can see and feel it. Second, he answers that question—no statements, no skipping to his own agenda. He answers the ‘farking’ question and parks a period, waiting for the next. How refreshing?
Tommy Fleetwood listens. In a world dominated by statements and agendas, that might just be worth more than a major.
